Ladies League Result: Dungarvan United beat
Mooncoin Celtic

Short a few regular starters did not help our cause but newly crowned champions Dungarvan showed why they are a really class team and showed our girls the level required to lift trophies.

Congratulations to Dungarvan United on winning the League, well deserved.

Well done to our own ladies on forming a guard of honour as Dungarvan left the pitch this evening.

One league game left to play for our ladies, a home fixture against Park Rangers, which should be a cracker going on last week.

We are currently awaiting notification from the league committee on when this game will be played before our Cup fixture against Carrick United in 2 weeks time.

3rd Division Result: Tramore 4 – 4 Mooncoin Celtic

3-0 up within a half an hour thanks to Jamie Moore (2) and Sean Grace saw us in cruise control but disgraceful finishing on our part throughout including a missed penalty and 4 horrendous mistakes saw Tramore deservedly lead 4-3 with minutes left until veteran Johnny McGrath popped up with a header to equalise in the last minute.

Very lucky to come away with a point against a very young Tramore side.

3rd Division Result Mooncoin Celtic 2 – 1 Piltown

A Derby was on offer in our game this evening in what was a fine evening with two evenly matched teams going at it.

An early goal by Jamie Moore saw us sneak ahead and we should really have been further ahead but poor finishing cost us. A belter of a finish by Joey O’Hanlon from 20 yards put a bit of daylight between the teams and it stayed like that until 5 minutes from the end when Piltown pulled a goal back.

A little wasteful throughout but three points on the board, some great performances this by young players Ryan Kelly and Jay Langford along with veterans Kevin Law and Daniel Synnott.


Tramore away on Sunday morning are next up.

Fixtures for the Weekend

Best of luck to two of our teams who get their 2022-23 Junior League season underway this evening.

Our 3rd division side face Piltown at 6.45 in Suir Crescent while our Youths travel for an away fixture to Ballyduff with a 6.45 kick off again.

Support for both teams would be very much appreciated.

Ladies League Result: Park Rangers 3 – 2 Mooncoin Celtic

These two sides may be sitting bottom of the league but they served up a cracker in Faithlegg and unfortunately we came out the wrong end of it.

A cagey first half hour saw no goals with Park Rangers on top and they broke the deadlock just after the half hour mark capitalising on sloppy defending.

We did create two great chances before half time with Sarah Walsh and Laura Power going close.

The second half was a tight battle but again some slack defending saw Park Rangers stretch their lead and we thought that was it but this young side dug in and got right back in it with Laura Power scoring from distance to get us back in the game.

Park Rangers got a good 3rd goal to put breathing space between the teams again but back came our girls and a corner that was swung in brilliantly by Sommer Grant, was poked home by Becky Derwin.

What looked like a stone wall penalty to everyone in the ground was turned down when Sommer Grant was hacked down right on the edge of the box but a free kick is all was given. Grace O’Toole then pulled off a brilliant save from a penalty and this spurred the girls on to pile on the pressure right until the final whistle with wave after wave of attack not yielding an equaliser.

Some brilliant deliveries by Becky Derwin could not get past a brilliant Park Rangers goalkeeper in the last 10 minutes.


Defeat but brilliant entertainment and well done to Park Rangers on their win.


Great performance by all in the squad with special mention this evening to Laura Power who got a deserved goal and worked tirelessly throughout.
